The inflammatory status interferes with the cellular uptake of butyrate and folic acid, two nutrients with a role in colorectal cancer pathogenesis, by intestinal epitelial cells. The anti-inflammatory acetylsalicylic acid potentiates the anticarcinogenic effect of BT in Caco-2 cells by increasing its cellular uptake.
